被野獸撕裂的，我沒有帶來給你，是我自己賠上的；無論是白天被偷的，還是夜間被偷的，你都要從我手中追討。我常常這樣：白天受盡炎熱，夜間受盡寒霜，不得合眼睡覺。

大衛對掃羅說：「你的僕人是為父親牧羊的，當獅子或熊過來，從畜群中叼走一隻羔羊時，我就出去追趕牠，攻擊牠，把羊從牠口中解救出來。牠起來攻擊我，我就揪住牠的鬍鬚，擊打牠，把牠殺死。

所有在我以前來的，是賊、是強盜，因此羊沒有聽從他們。我就是門。人如果通過我進來，就將得救，而且進進出出，將找到牧草。盜賊來，無非是要偷竊、宰殺、毀滅；而我來是要他們得生命，並且得的更豐盛。「我就是好牧人。好牧人為羊捨棄自己的生命；那雇來的不是牧人，羊也不是自己的，他看見狼來了，撇下羊就逃。這樣，狼就搶奪羊，把牠們驅散了。

他揀選了自己的僕人大衛，從羊圈中把他挑選出來，從所照顧的哺乳母羊當中把他帶出來，為要牧養自己的子民雅各，自己的繼業以色列。
